Flavor Flav may have been searching for a soul mate on his VH1 reality show Flavor of Love, but now he's hoping to capture the souls of TV viewers with his new thrilling show, Nite Tales.
The 30-minute program, which debuted on WGN America on August 16, is a recount of tales from beyond the grave, with an urban twist.
Flav, who stars as the Time Keeper, calls the show a cotemporary mix of Tales from the Crypt and The Twilight Zone.
"Well Nite Tales is an updated version of Tales from the Crypt with the style of The Twilight Zone. My brand new character is like the brand new Rod Serling of the 2000s," he said.
Nite Tales creator and producer, Deon Taylor, says that the show will connect with a younger generation of TV viewers.
"I think it's designed for today's younger audience and today's just regular audience. I think what's different about it is that I can't name one show on television like it. It's not gory, it's not CSI, it's 30-minutes of fun. In other words, what other channel can you turn to and see Ray J make a deal with the devil to become a platinum artist?" he said.
The premiere episode featured Chicago comedians DeRay Davis and Rodney Perry. Upcoming episodes will have guest appearances from Ray J, Charlie Murphy, Danny Glover, Gary Busey, Brigitte Nielsen and Essence Atkins.
